What Do You Love About What You Wrote This Week?

Share a sentence or two. Tell me that you solved a tricky plot point. That you reached 20k words. That your main character's voice is falling into place.

Share an achievement about your writing this week and let's celebrate that!

Partly inspired by the Love Lists I saw floating around after YA Highway's Road Trip Wed which themselves were inspired by Stephanie Perkins, but also I thought: let's celebrate those small steps as we go along. Let's celebrate getting that scene right or just getting the words out.

Please do join in, blow your own trumpet (or hey, someone else's if you like) in the comments. Please tweet/blog so a few people join in if you can.

I edited two chapters of ARROSAY yesterday and I am MUCH happier with them. Hopefully I will read through them again today and still feel the same! Well done with the clone story, I like the sound of that one.

I am finally free! I no longer track my word count! I am free to write. And that writing is flowing more easily now that I've given up my addiction to numbers! Come check out my post I wrote about it! http://writebackwards.we3dements.com/wordpress/2012/08/22/numbers-numbers-everywhere-and-not-a-number-for-me/

Thanks for doing this--it's quite motivating. Well I'm thrilled that I got unstuck this week. There was a very troubling chapter in my WIP that was really holding me back and I figured out how to make it work so I was super happy!

I haven't been super-satisfied with my writing this week, but I'm going to force myself to be positive! I did finish the (first draft of the) first chapter of my new book, and I did some major outlining for the last of my characters. (He's not really all that important until the climax of the book, as I have it planned out.) One of my friends also helped me out with the "sci" half of "sci-fi", so I have a new file of awesome notes about electronic sensors and carbon nanotubes and other things that make my head spin!
